And Then There Were Peaches

Yesterday marks the first time I’ve ever gone fruit picking in an orchard and I have to say that it was a most pleasurable experience. Kate and I bumped into Tessa and Mike while out for drinks on Friday night and were invited to go along to Godfrey Farm to pick fruit. “Sure!” was the reply and Saturday morning took us in a borrowed Tahoe (most enormous car I’ve been in to date) to the middle of Sudlersville, MD to the farm in question. With just a few navigational gaffes we found the proper rows of peaches and set to work. Little did we know that peaches grow like gangbusters and the most work you have to do to get them is put out an arm in any given direction.

And that is how we wound up with a half bushel of fresh, delicious peaches. So begins the task of figuring out what to do with them all. If you are within walking distance, expect to receive at least one handfruit this week.
